• Unzip the downloaded Gradle archive to a certain path, I unzip it here F:\Code\Dependencies\Gradle, the directory structure is as shown in the figure below

• Configure environment variables

  My Gradle bin path isF:\Code\Dependencies\Gradle\bin

3. Verification

Open cmd or powershell input

gradle -v

If the following message appears, Gradle configuration is successful

If the above information is not displayed, please check whether the environment variable configuration is correct

4. Change the mirror source to speed up the download

• The current directory takes effect

In the project root directory build.gradleto modify / add repositories in the configuration file

repositories {
    maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public" }
    maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/spring" }
}

• Configuration takes effect globally

Find C:\Users\{你的用户名}\.gradle\init.gradlefile

If you cannot find the init.gradle file after installation, please create a new one yourself

init.gradleThe content of the file is as follows

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/public" }
        maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/spring" }
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

5. Set Gradle local warehouse location

This setting can be skipped, but the local warehouse location is not set. Gradle will download the jar package to the C drive by default (in the .gradle folder under USER_HOME)

6. Create Gradle Project

Open IDEA and create a new SpringBoot project.



If the IDEA pop-up window requires Gradle to be configured, follow the settings below

. The results of the successful configuration are all green ticked!

7. You're done

Let's feel the charm of Gradle!
